Arencibia dealing with 'catcher's hand'

BOSTON -- Rays catcher J.P. Arencibia is dealing with a bone bruise on his left hand, commonly known as "catcher's hand," and the injury could limit his playing time for the remainder of the season.

"The issue with a catcher's hand is they seem to recover really quick and feel fine," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "And then it can be one pitch or one foul ball that sets it back. So I would guess he's going to be feeling better in the next two days or so. But if he catches one ball awkward, it can really make it sore.
